Chapter 192 [Progressive Youth] (Part 1)

Acting mayor Zuo Yuanchao shook his head slowly and said, "No! The city's finance can pre-allocate their wages, but we must never use the national finance to pay for their internal mistakes! If this precedent is set, then any system and any enterprise can reach out to the government. This is a bottomless pit, a big hole that will never be filled!"

Li Changyu said: "Unconventional means are needed in extraordinary times, and the rules also need to be flexibly applied."

Zuo Yuanchao replied resolutely: "It is not a question of rules, but a question of principles. Rules can be flexibly applied, but principles cannot be changed."

Most members of the Standing Committee, including the Municipal Party Committee Secretary Hong Weiji, agree with the view of Left Aid Korea, and the principles cannot be changed. If the government pays the bill for the Education Bureau's mistake, then this precedent will lead to enterprises and units extending their hands to the government, and the government will be overwhelmed. Left Aid Korea's attitude on this matter is irreproachable. He relaxed in finance and agreed that the Finance Bureau will issue teachers' wages in advance, but he also showed his own principles. The huge hole left by the education system fundraising case can only be paid by them themselves, and the government will not take care of it.

Li Changyu said: "Have you ever thought about how these teachers will react when they know that their fundraising funds are gone?"

Municipal Party Secretary Hong Weiji sighed and said, "So your shoulders are very heavy. You must do a good job in the education system! Avoid them bringing dissatisfaction to their work." This sentence is equivalent to telling Li Changyu clearly that you can do it yourself. The matters in the education system are originally within your jurisdiction. We can't control it, and we don't want to take care of everything.

Li Changyu remained silent. He also understood that the government's funds were short of money, so it was obviously unreasonable to let the government pay for this matter. However, in the current situation, if those teachers realize that the fundraising has become a silence, the consequences will be extremely serious. The No. 8 Middle School's listening incident may be staged again, and it will become more and more intense. The use of administrative intervention may have some deterrent effects, but Li Changyu is not sure how big the effect can be and how long it can last.

Fortunately, the suspension of classes at No. 8 Middle School did not happen again, but when various schools paid wages, there was a phenomenon of refusal to receive them. The teachers all chose not to pay wages. They expressed their anger and protests in this way. Anyway, they had not received wages in the past six months, and it was not a month short of their money. What they care most about is fundraising funds. Zheng Xiantai, the director of the Education Bureau, ran away. Who would they ask for this money? The school has no money and the Education Bureau has no money. All they can think of is the government, but is the government willing to pay for this fundraising case?

Zheng Xiantai sat in Zhang Yang's jeep with a decadent expression and a complicated mood. Looking at the gate of Jingshan No. 1 Experimental Primary School in the distance, he couldn't help but sigh: "Director Zhang...I...I will become a criminal if I do this!"

Zhang Yang sneered: "No one forced you, you can do it yourself!"

Zheng Xiantai suddenly said, "My second aunt is here!" He was so scared that he retracted his seat.

Zhang Yang secretly scolded this guy for being useless. Looking along with his eyes, he saw an old lady with a kind face slowly passing by their jeep. Zheng Xiantai's second aunt came to pick up Cheng Jigao's twin sons from school.

Zhang Yang patted Zheng Xiantai on the shoulder, which scared Zheng Xiantai torture. Zhang Yang smiled and said, "Talk to your second aunt. As long as you achieve your goal, you don't have to use violent means!"

Zheng Xiantai bit his lip and nodded vigorously.

Zheng Xiantai was still a little skilled. He didn't spend much time tricking his second aunt and two children into the jeep. Zhang Yang handed them three bottles of drinks. The old lady and two children fell asleep in a daze after drinking. Zheng Xiantai was frightened. Zhang Yang's style of doing things was really elusive. Judging from his methods of acting like a state cadre, he was simply an experienced criminal.

"They won't have any trouble, are they?"

Zhang Yang laughed. He was still very accurate in the amount of the drug, and would never cause harm to the old lady and her two children. He drove the car to the public telephone booth on the side of the road: "Go and make a call, I don't believe that Cheng Jigao doesn't care about the lives of his mother and her two sons."

Zheng Xiantai didn't know Cheng Jigao's phone number, so he called Cheng Jigao's house first. The one who answered the phone was Cheng Jigao's wife. Zheng Xiantai told her directly that her son and mother-in-law had been taken by him for a few days, asked her to say something to Cheng Jigao, and left Zhang Yang's mobile phone number. Cheng Jigao's wife hadn't reacted at first. When she called Cheng Jigao, Cheng Jigao was immediately in horror. He immediately realized that my mother and her twin sons might have been kidnapped.

Not long after Zheng Xiantai finished the phone call, Zhang Yang's phone rang. Zhang Yang looked at the number and handed it to Zheng Xiantai with a smile.

Zheng Xiantai answered the phone and heard Cheng Jigao's roar: "Zheng Xiantai, do you know what you are doing? If my mother, my son loses a hair, I will let you die without a place to bury!"

Zheng Xiantai was originally very guilty and nervous, but when he heard Cheng Jigao's threat, he couldn't help but get angry: "Cheng Jigao, don't threaten me! You cheated the fundraising funds, those are the hard-earned money of the teachers. I tell you, I am not afraid of anything now, you are not afraid of death. It is you who have caused me to the point where I am now. I have nothing left. What am I afraid of? Your mother, your two sons are in my hands, what do you want? Call the police? If you have the affair, go and call the police! Anyway, I am an unforgivable sinner and don't care about committing one more."

When Cheng Jigao heard that Zheng Xiantai was not afraid of threats at all, he suddenly became flustered, and his tone began to soften: "Cousin, what are you doing? Didn't I tell you? All the money is on the ground, and I want to give you money, but I don't have money at all. What can you do to let me do?"

Zheng Xiantai looked at Zhang Yang, and Zhang Yang made a one-palm chop to the three people sleeping soundly in the back seat of the car.

Zheng Xiantai gritted his teeth and said, "Cheng Jigao, please don't play tricks for me. I'll give you three hours. If you don't transfer that money to my designated account in three hours, just wait... and collect your son's body!" Zheng Xiantai hung up the phone after saying this harsh words.

Zhang Yang gave him a thumbs up. This guy has the talent to be a kidnapper.

Zheng Xiantai was very uneasy: "Director Zhang... will he call the police?"

Zhang Yang smiled and said, "If he wants to call the police, let him report it. We have not taken hostages anyway, but you ask them to get in the car and rest."

"But we are indeed hijacking now..."

Zhang Yang sighed and said, "Don't let us do ours, I'm just driving. What you do has nothing to do with me, don't want to get involved in everything!" He pushed it cleanly. In fact, he calculated that Cheng Jigao did not dare to call the police. No one didn't care about the safety of his relatives. Although Cheng Jigao was a profiteer, he was no exception. He kept dialing Zhang Yang's phone, but Zhang Yang had no intention of answering the phone.

After an hour passed, Zheng Xiantai called another phone call. Cheng Jigao was obviously panicked and suggested that he would not raise so much money in a short period of time and agreed to send two million to him first. Zheng Xiantai flatly refused and gave the account to Cheng Jigao, giving Cheng Jigao a grace to two hours, so that he must transfer all the money into the designated account within the deadline.

This incident was also a lucky thing. Cheng Jigao cheated the Education Bureau of fundraising funds and used them to speculate on land. He also made a lot of money. Before the land price fell continuously, he had already successfully sold all the land to cash out. He did not return the fundraising funds to Zheng Xiantai because he did not want to pay it back at all. This kind of rogue businessman was used to playing with such methods. He thought that Zheng Xiantai was a government staff member, and when embezzled the fundraising funds, he gave Zheng Xiantai a considerable commission and took the other person's mercy. It was precisely because he grasped Zheng Xiantai's mentality that he delayed endlessly. With Cheng Jigao's understanding of Zheng Xiantai, he believed that Zheng Xiantai did not have the courage to do such a kidnapping, but the matter was beyond his expectations. Zheng Xiantai not only did it, but also kidnapped three at a time. Just as that, the rabbit was anxious and even bit people. Zheng Xiantai was anxious and ignored any consequences.

Cheng Jigao finally surrendered. He obediently transferred the money to the established account according to Zheng Xiantai's order.

Zheng Xiantai was sure that the money had reached the designated account, and he was extremely excited. The fundraising funds were retrieved, which meant that the responsibility he had on his shoulders was much lighter, so he would not have to leave his hometown and escape. He had changed from fear of Zhang Yang to gratitude now. If it weren't for Zhang Yang, he would have been able to get back this fundraising funds in the year and month.

Zhang Yang was sure that the matter had been done and then called Li Changyu.

Li Changyu was stunned when he received the call. He did not expect that Zhang Yang had been helping him deal with this matter. When he heard that Zheng Xiantai was in Zhang Yang's hands and the fundraising funds had been recovered, it was really hard to describe the gratitude in his heart. What troubled him the most was this matter. If the storm in the education system could not be calmed down, he would face another huge storm since he became the executive vice mayor.

"Thank you!" Li Changyu said these two words very rarely.

Zhang Yang laughed: "Cheng Jigao has transferred the money back to the designated account. You can ask someone to implement it. Zheng Xiantai and I will return to Jiangcheng tonight!"

Li Changyu has recovered the fundraising funds when he has implemented the fundraising funds, and his inner weight has finally been greatly relieved. He reported this to the municipal party secretary Hong Weiji.

When Hong Weiji heard that the fundraising funds were recovered, Zheng Xiantai would also return to Jiangcheng today, so he breathed a sigh of relief. As the leader of Jiangcheng, he was unwilling to cause such a big mess in the education system. Hong Weiji smiled and said, "It's good that the money can be recovered. It's really a dead end, and there is another village with a dark and bright future!"

Li Changyu said with emotion: "Thanks to Zhang Yang for this matter. When Zheng Xiantai escaped, he quietly followed Zheng Xiantai and forced Zheng Xiantai to spit out the fundraising funds!" Li Changyu did not know the specific insider of the fundraising funds.

Hong Weiji said: "Zhang Yang is indeed very capable. He made a great contribution to the education system this time!" He thought to himself that Zhang Yang is indeed Li Changyu's lucky star. If the fundraising funds cannot be recovered in time, an unprecedented crisis will soon arise in the education system. Zuo Ai Korea will never miss this opportunity to suppress Li Changyu. Hong Weiji took a sip of tea: "Chang Yu, let these teachers know about the fundraising funds recovered as soon as possible, and send the money as soon as possible so that they can feel at ease."

Li Changyu said: "I have asked someone to issue a notice, but it may take a few days for this money to be distributed to individuals. The dividends agreed by the Education Bureau in the past cannot be fulfilled."

Hong Weiji smiled and said, "It's a blessing in disgrace to be able to get the capital back. I don't believe that any of these teachers would think of dividends?" He put down his teacup: "After Zheng Xiantai came back, he transferred it directly to the procuratorate. An education director was so brave, raising more than 7 million yuan, and such a large sum of money was misappropriated without calling him. He really didn't treat himself as an outsider."

Li Changyu's mood is much more relaxed now. He laughed: "In fact, this phenomenon of private fundraising is not only in the Education Bureau, but many enterprises and institutions have this phenomenon. I think it's time to sort out this phenomenon, otherwise similar things will happen in the future."

Hong Weiji nodded: "Save the matter first, let's talk about it. Now that the provincial newspaper has been published, I don't want things to get bigger. In the past year, all the things that the province has heard and seen are our negative things. The leaders will not think about the root cause of the incident. They will feel that we are incapable and that we, the city leaders, have no ability."

Li Changyu whispered: "I have an unshirkable responsibility for the matter in the education system this time. I will make a public review at the next Standing Committee!"
